The Goddess Test is about a young girl named Kate living with her dying mother in a new home, the town her mother grew up in. Kate doesn't know anyone at her new school or any of her neighbors. Worst of all her mother isn't expected to live very long.
One day Kate meets a mysterious and attractive man claiming to be Hades, from the legends of Greek gods. Kate believes he is insane until she is soon thrust into the world of gods and goddesses, and forced to take 7 difficult tests, if she succeeds she will be his wife and become a goddess. She cannot even think of failing.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a fun rewrite of the stories of many Greek gods and goddesses. I loved how each god or goddess was incorporated secretly into a character subtly enough for someone to understand who they were meant to be, while still maintaing a bit of mystery. The only thing that held me back from giving this book 5 stars instead of 4 was the opening chapter of this book. I found it to be a little dull and confusing, however the prologue is amazing! Overall the book is fun and exciting and I couldn't put it down. It was a bit difficult to follow at times but well worth the time spent on it! I suggest you read!
